The Guardian spoke with Yahoo founder, Jerry Yang last week.What was it about Flickr that made it such a must-have acquisition?
Yang: There’s a lot we can achieve through this acquisition because we’ll be able to leverage their leading technology and product features such as tagging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagging). The internet’s a driving force in the change from mass media to “my media”, in which consumers will be their own programmers. User-generated content or “social media” will be a large component, and Flickr (www. flickr.com) has one of the strongest, most active communities out there.
